The New Standard

in Lightfastness Testing
Xenon Lightfastness Tester
Model B02
The New Standard in Lightfastness Testing
Designed specifically to meet ISO 105 B02, the new rotating
rack Q-Sun Model B02 Tester uses the latest technology to
provide precise control of the critical test parameters, including
Spectrum, Irradiance, Relative Humidity, Chamber Tempera-
ture and Black Standard Temperature.
Te Q-Sun B02 meets many test specifcations, including:
ISO 105 B02
ISO 105 B06
AATCC TM 16
AATCC TM 169, Option 2 & 3
s
Te revolutionary Q-Sun B02 Tester was specifically
designed to be an afordable lightfastness tester that
meets the requirements of ISO and AATCC. Te new
Q-Suns surprising low purchase price and operating
costs set a new standard for lightfastness testing.
Te new Q-Sun is easy to install, easy to use and
practically maintenance-free. Te Model B02 is
completely automated and can operate continuously,
24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Now Even the Smallest Lab Can Afford Xenon Testing
Q-Sun B02 Lightfastness Tester Overview
Spectrum. Together, the long life xenon lamps and special lter lantern
produce the spectrum required for textile testing.
Solar Eye

Irradiance Control. Precise monitoring and control of


irradiance ensures maximum repeatability, reproducibility and ease of use.
Calibration is quick and easy with the patented AutoCal system.
Humidity Control. The electronic humidity sensor provides precise control
of relative humidity.
Temperature Control. Both Chamber Air Temperature and Black Stan-
dard Temperature are simultaneously controlled to close tolerances.
Capacity. Specimen capacity is signicantly larger than comparable testers.
Exterior Dimensions. The Q-Sun B02 is the perfect size for textile labs.
Height 166cm (65.5"); Width 91 cm (36"); Depth 62cm (24.5").
Rotating Rack. The new Q-Sun B02 tester was designed with a rotating rack to meet
the requirements of ISO 105 B02.

Te Q-Suns xenon arc lamp produces
the most realistic reproduction of full
spectrum sunlight, including UV, visible
and infrared radiation. Exposure to the
full spectrum is critical for lightfastness
testing of most textiles.
Te Q-Suns Optical Filter Lantern is de-
signed to produce the spectra specifed
in ISO and AATCC test methods and is
equivalent to sunlight coming through
window glass. Te Q-Sun B02 lantern
consists of an outer borosilicate cylinder
and two sets of 7 inner flters, arranged
in a two-tier heptagon. For ISO 105 B02,
the inner flters are Window IR (heat
reducing). For AATCC TM16, the inner
flters are Window B/SL.
Te Q-Sun sets a new standard with flters
that are exceptionally durable and main-
tain the required spectrum indefnitely.
Afer many years of use, Q-Sun flters
have yet to show any signs of aging.

Te Q-Suns Solar Eye Irradiance Control
system allows maximum repeatability and
reproducibility of test results. Te Solar
Eye is a patented, precision light control
system that automatically monitors and
maintains the programmed light intensi-
ty. Irradiance is controlled at either TUV
(300-400 nm) or 420 nm.
Te patented AutoCal
system uses a special cali-
bration radiometer that
measures the light intensity
of the lamp and electroni-
cally transfers the data to
the controller. Te Solar
Eye sets a new standard in
calibration. It takes only
seconds and there is little
chance for operator error.

Temperature and Humidity
Advantages
Precise Control of Specimen Temperature
Choice of Black Standard or Black Panel Temperature Sensors
Simultaneous Control of Black Panel & Chamber Air Temperature
Precise Control of Relative Humidity
Temperature is critical because it in-
fuences the rate of degradation. In
the Q-Sun, temperature is precisely
maintained by a system that simulta-
neously controls both Black Standard
Temperature and Chamber Air Tem-
perature.
Te relative humidity in the chamber
governs the moisture content of the
surface of the test specimen during ex-
posure. Te Q-Suns electronic humidity
sensor provides precise control of rela-
tive humidity.
Te Q-Sun Model B02 sets the standard
with signifcantly higher specimen capac-
ity than competitive testers. Q-Sun speci-
men holders are very easy to install and
remove. ISO and AATCC textile masks
are available.

Simplicity is the Ultimate Sophistication
Q-Labs design philosophy is simple. We believe that, just because a product is
technically sophisticated, it doesnt have to be hard to understand or diffcult to use.
We put our engineering effort into keeping things simple. Our goal is to provide
affordable test equipment that is technically accurate, yet easy to understand, easy to
operate and easy to maintain. It is that simple.
